Wild Fire Season

We are approaching that time of year when fires break out in our province especially during hot weather. Usually these fires are the result of human error such as throwing out a cigarette from a moving vehicle in a bushy area or having uncontrolled outdoor fires. Know your bylaws, burning restrictions and air quality advisories. When seeing a fire in progress, be sure to call the fire department in your area or call 911 if there is a threat to life or property.

The BC Wildfire Service mobile app is available for Apple (iOS) and Android devices and is free to download in the App Store and Google Play.
